Today wasn't just Round One of the Rip Curl Pipe Masters - today was Round One of the whole damn North Shore winter season. Seventeen-year ASP Women's World Tour veteran Layne Beachley has won an unprecedented 7th ASP Women's World Tour Title in Honolua Bay, Maui today. 
What a difference a year makes. At the end of 2005, Waianae's Melanie Bartels, touted as one of the most talented women of the new millennium, was frustrated... 
Australian Mick Fanning has rocketed to world No. 2 on the Foster's ASP World Tour ratings with an emphatic win at the Nova Schin Festival presented by Billabong today. 
Edwards' quote was never more true than right here right now. That's because Kelly Slater is the world's best and he's also enjoying it the most. 
With contest organizers needing to run a double digit number of heats, Bakio was the only option. Mundaka is just too unreliable. The competitors were actually stoked - after too many Groundhog Days here and excursions to France to regain sanity, today was finally the day things would happen. 
Nineteen-year-old Gilmore is the only individual in surfing history to win two ASP World Championship Tour events as a wildcard. 
When only one heat in good waves was run yesterday, I thought it was bad, but today was worse. Every heat was awful. How bad was it? 
Over the weekend, Joel Parkinson was the guy who stayed in Mundaka and didn't get eggy. Everyone else was in full stop start mode as tidal windows appear and disappear at will. 
Without waves, not much happens in Mundaka. There's a little plaza, a few tapas bars by the harbor and that’s about it. I doubt the pace of life has changed much since the Romans and Vikings took up residence here.
